# Taxes

    **Insight:** \*\*Compound Tax\*\* - In some countries you might have to collect more than one tax from your customers. It is for you to pay to your local province and another to the federal authority. In certain cases, the provincial tax is applied on the total that includes the item or invoice amount as well as the federal tax amount. Such taxes are called as Compound Taxes.

## Adding a New Tax Group

You can group more than two taxes together and apply it on your transactions. Let’s say you have to charge your customers a newly introduced cess rate, you can then create a tax group with your regular tax rate and the cess to apply them on your invoices.

The total tax rate of a tax group will be the sum of all the tax rates which are grouped under it. To create a tax group, you must ensure you have created two or more tax rates.

To create a new tax group:

*   Go to _Settings_ > _Taxes & Compliance_ > _Taxes_ > **Tax Rates**.
*   Click the **\+ New Tax Group** button in the top right corner of the page.
*   Enter the name of the tax group, and select the taxes you want to associate with this tax group.
*   Click **Save**.

*   Enter the **Tax Name and Rate (%)**.
*   Click **\+ Add Tax** button to add more taxes.
